Patient Information

Patients are our priority.

At Corpus Christi Rehabilitation Hospital, we are passionate about patient care. We consider it a privilege to be able to provide services to our patients and their family members. We are committed to providing the highest level of care available, and never take our responsibility to our patients for granted.

We strive to create healing and nurturing environments for our patients that not only meet their medical needs, but address their emotional and social needs as well. We believe that this comprehensive approach can help our patients recover more fully – allowing them to return home with the highest level of independence possible, and helping to minimize any return hospital visits.

Your Hospital StayWhen you are admitted to Corpus Christi Rehabilitation Hospital, a team of healthcare professionals will work with you and your family members to ensure that you reach the highest level of recovery possible.

During your stay, if there is anything we can do to make your visit more conducive to your healing process – or if you have a question or concern – we encourage you to talk to any member of your medical team or the management staff.

In addition, after you leave, you may receive a survey in the mail with questions about your hospital experience. If you receive one of these surveys, we ask that you please complete it so we may continue to improve our patients’ experiences. All your responses are compiled by a company independent of the hospital, ensuring that your responses will remain confidential.

Leaving the HospitalAs we plan for your discharge from the hospital, you and your family members will be an integral part of the process. We want you to be confident and knowledgeable when you leave. Beginning with the time you are admitted, your case manager will provide you with options and explain guidelines regarding insurance coverage. When you are discharged, a summary report of your health care will be sent to your physician and other health care professionals as requested. Most importantly, your case manager will be sure that you and your family receive the education – and if necessary – additional healthcare support to continue your recovery.
